Summer's POV:
I woke up to doors opening and closing. Riley fixed her hair in the mirror and noticed me waking up. "Hey. There's breakfast in the cafeteria. Come on." Riley said. I stood up and put my shoes on. Riley shook out her hair and walked away from me and made her way to the cafeteria. I sighed and everyone was piling out of their rooms. Lisa grabbed her bag and began heading for the door. "You only do the night shift?" I asked. Lisa nodded and said "yeah. I'll be back at 5:00 tonight." "That's kinda early." I replied. Lisa shrugged and said "I try to get here early enough so I can be with you guys. And take care of you all." "Wow." I said. She nodded and said "I'll see you tonight." I half smiled to her and she walked through the double doors. Gunner had his headphones around his neck and a beanie sat on his head. He shoved his hands in his pockets and walked past me. Someone tapped my shoulder and it was Joey. "Hi Joey." I said to him. He half smiled and pointed to the hall. "Is the cafeteria this way?" I asked him. Joey nodded and went to grab my wrist. "It's ok." I said. He grabbed my wrist and began to pull me down the hall. We went down a set of stairs and we were in a large cafeteria. Justin walked over and said "hey." Joey looked up at him and Justin noticed Joey's hand around my wrist. Justin motioned for Joey to go away and he did as he was told. "How'd you sleep?" I asked him. Justin shrugged and said "not much." I frowned at that and Alex got in line next to us. "Hey Alex?" Justin asked. Alex looked at him and Justin said "hey....I'm sorry for what I said to you. The last time I saw you." "Like two months ago?" Alex asked. Justin nodded and Alex said "it's whatever. I don't care anymore. Plus I don't remember it much." He walked away and quickly passed Riley. "After breakfast, you all get to go outside and do recreation activities!" Neil said. Nobody responded and he looked at Gunner and said "that means you too." "I don't have to listen to you. Plus...why go outside when I have everything right here?" Gunner asked. Neil didn't know what to say and Nova said "maybe some fresh air will do you good?" Gunner looked at her and said "maybe." An older woman walked in and Neil said "Summer, Justin, and Nova. I forgot to introduce someone to you. This is Dr. Elizabeth Simms. She'll be the one administrating medicine and other things." She nodded to us and I ignored her. "Gunner. I'm going to need you to come with me. You never eat breakfast anyway." Elizabeth said. Gunner huffed and stood up. He walked by us and winked at Nova. Nova furrowed her eyebrows and Gunner smirked while walking away. I sat down at a table and Justin sat next to me. Nova was across from me. Alex said "she always has something to do with someone in the mornings." "Like what?" Nova asked. Alex shrugged and said "can't remember." Justin said "how can you not remember?" Alex opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by Riley sitting down. "Hello newbies." She said. Alex groaned and she smirked at him. "So...how's your first day going?" She asked. She had a fork in her hand with a strawberry on it. Justin answered her and she waved it around as she talked.
